The Sandal As a Hitting Implement in Athenian Iconography ✉ Yael Young1,2
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-00558-z OPEN A painful matter: the sandal as a hitting implement in Athenian iconography ✉ Yael Young1,2 The article examines a series of images on Athenian ceramic vases in which sandals are depicted as a hitting implement. This iconographic motif appears mainly in two contexts: educational scenes, where an adult hits a subordinate, and erotic scenes, where the hitting 1234567890():,; action is almost always performed by males upon female prostitutes. The utilisation of this specific mundane object, rather than equally available others, for these violent acts is explored in light of psychologist James J. Gibson’s term “affordance”, which refers to the potentialities held by an object for a particular set of actions, stemming from its material properties. I suggest that the choice of the sandal is not arbitrary: it supports these aggressors’ desire to cause pain to those of lower status, thereby controlling and humiliating them. The affordances of the sandal, stemming from its shape and material and the inherent potentialities for action, are perceived and exploited by the hitters. Though not designed as a hitting implement, in the hands of these privileged figures in these specific situations, the mundane, ordinary sandal becomes the medium, a social agent, by which their control attains physical embodiment. Thanks to the Athenian vase painters, we are able to register and visualise latent affordances of the sandal that previously lay out of sight. It seems that in the context of Athenian society, the supposed dichotomy between the ordinary usage and the extraordinary violent usage of the sandal collapses. -

(no.62) ?"l This fine sherd has recently been published in the first CV-volume of that collection.2 The authors followed Beazley's lead and tried to establish what had become of the fragments in Freiburg, only to learn that they were lost.3 As Beazley had visited Freiburg in 1924 there was reason to expect a photographic record in the archive in Oxford. This was duly found and is here presented for the first time thanks to the generosity of those in charge of that treasure-house." The judicious analysis of the subject on the interior of the Bryn Mawr fragment (PLATE 3 fig. 2b) can be amended by looking at its back (PLATE 5 fig. 2 a b). The authors take the upright object at the left to be a staff. It is the leg of a stool which joins with one of 1 J. D.

The Iconography of the Athenian Hero in Late Archaic Greek Vase-Painting
The Iconography of the Athenian Hero in Late Archaic Greek Vase-Painting Elizabeth Anne Bartlett Tucson, Arizona Bachelor of Art, Scripps College, 2006 Master of Art, University of Arizona, 2008 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McIntire Department of Art University of Virginia May 2015 ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ –ABSTRACT– This study questions how Athenian vase-painters represented heroic figures during the late sixth and early fifth centuries B.C. – specifically from the death of Peisistratos in 528 B.C. to the return of Theseus' bones to Athens in 475/4 B.C. The study focuses on three specific Attic cult heroes with a strong presence both in the Greek world and on Athenian vases: Herakles, Theseus, and Ajax. Although individual studies have been published regarding various aspects of these three heroes, such as subject matter, cult worship, literary presence, and social history, the current one departs from them by categorizing, comparing, and contrasting the different portrayals of the three chosen heroes. Using Athenian vases as the primary form of evidence, the current study endeavors to uncover how individual iconography can – or cannot – identify the heroic figure. By using an iconographic approach of looking at attributes, dress, gestures, poses, and composition, a more complete picture of the image of the hero may be understood. Evidence of both the cult of, and importance of, the Athenian hero is stressed both in ancient texts and through archaeological evidence, thus supplemental material is taken into consideration. Illustrations of Greek heroes can be found on a variety of vase shapes of various techniques, and the accompanying catalogue includes almost 300 examples. -

Herakles and Theseus on a Red-Figured Louterion 337
HERAKLESAND THESEUS ON A RED-FIGURED LOUTERION (PLATES 105-110) PART I: THE VASE AND ITS SCENES RECONSTRUCTED Pr HE red-figured louterion published herein was found in a well in the Athenian Agora on May 5th, 1938, shattered in many fragments. Not enough is pre- served to reconstitute the entire shape physically, though there can be little doubt about the main elements of the reconstruction on paper shown in Figure 1. The same can be said about the painting on its two sides. There are large gaps, but again the main lines are clear and a drawing with restorations can be attempted (Fig. 2).' The paintings on the vase, which can be attributed to the group of Polygnotos,2 date the pot to the late forties or early thirties of the 5th century. It is a piece of exceptional interest not only on account of its shape, which is rare indeed, but also The proof of this article, presented for publication in 1960, has not been read by the author. 1 My thanks are due to Professor Homer A. Thompson for allowing me to work on Agora material when I was first in Athens as a Student of the British School, and more specifically for his permission to publish this louterion. Both he and Miss Lucy Talcott have put me under deep obligation for help and kindness in many ways. Mrs. S. Karouzou gave me cordial welcome and help at the National Museum in difficult times. It was she who first suggested to me that the shape of the pot might have been a louterion. -

Playing Or Not Playing the Auloi: How to Read the Images on Attic Vases by Alexandra Goulaki-Voutyra

Voutyra, Playing or not Playing the Auloi… Playing or not Playing the Auloi: How to Read the Images on Attic Vases Alexandra Goulaki-Voutyra Abstract: This paper discusses some of the organological details of the auloi and its playing techniques and gestures as depicted mostly via ancient imagery. When approaching any aspect of real musical practice, we have to decode very carefully the painter’s effort to render the performance of music, including technical details; awareness of the peculiarities, conventions and restrictions of the material, especially in vase paintings, must be taken into account. Still, representations of music making, especially on Attic vase paintings of the late archaic and classical period, must have been related in some way to the actual playing of music and thus reflect a recognizable ‘reality’. I will raise awareness of the issues emerging when reading these images, in order to help us gain a better understanding of aulos music during this period.
